5 Things to do on Metro

I'm a DC snob (everyone has their faults) and I admit that I find the thought of having to Metro more than five stops anywhere appalling - after all, that is why I live in the District.

Now that I am dating a Virginia boy, I have found myself frequently making exhaustingly long Metro trips to Old Town. In order to appease my ADD (and yours too), I have compiled my 5 favorite things to do on Metro.

  1. Count the "CrackBerrys" - my high score 9. (Hint -this one is especially good during morning rush hour)
  2. The iPod Guessing Game - try to figure out what songs/type of music people are playing in those little white earphones. (I like to trick people by going with something by Common or the Ying Yang Twins)
  3. Metro Police - who on your train is breaking one of Metro's rules. (You people with a cup of coffee watch out.)
  4. Fashion Police - give the red carpet review of your fellow riders. (Always more fun with a friend)
  5. Find the Spy - As I learned at the International Spy Museum, DC has more spies than almost any other place in the world.

Those are good ones. To amuse myself on the metro ride to my favorite client organization, I check out the shoes. I wonder how those women in spiked heels walk the streets of DC. I look to see if the men polished their loafers. I look for new styles, funky ones, etc. And I try to find the wackiest ones....
